Instead of coming up with artificial ways of inticing customers to preorder from them and not someone else, shouldn't retailers focus on more important things, like, say, customer experience? I am more inclined to buy from a store I like than one that came up with some stupid bonus but can't be bothered to give me the…

Well, if it does go through, it could mean Minecraft on WP8 and Surface finally.

Soooooo... They're doing what the XBone was going to do originally.

Complexity has never been my problem with their buying policy. The fact that they seem to give random percentages of the selling price is my problem. Where I work, we give customers 50-60% of what we are going to sell the item for. That seems reasonable to me, but GameStop seems to give maybe 10% for some games, which…

So here's what I don't get: fundamentally, there can't really be that much difference between an AMD and an Nvidia card. What I mean is that they both basically do the same thing. If one is better components/specs than the other, that should be a good reason why one works better for a game than the other.

College is the best time because you don't have any real responsibilities. You don't have a mortgage, (hopefully) don't have kids, and can pretty much do whatever you want with the little money you make. Once you graduate, you find out that your degree is useless and all the money you make at your low-paying job goes…

I didn't really, I am a USAA member and they have a tool where you put in the car you want to buy and they tell you what you should be paying for it. Print it out, bring it to the dealer, tell them this is what I will pay for it or I'm not buying it. That worked fine, but I was also trying to get a loyalty discount…

It's actually the exact opposite for me. In high school we used calculators for everything. In college, I'm not allowed to use one at all. I believe the idea is that a lot of modern calculators can do even fairly advanced calculus for you, so if they just let you use that, you haven't really learned how to do the…

Maybe it's a cup they give me to drink out of? But if it's my cup, I would much rather recycle it than throw it away.

But I just bought a Blu-Ray player so I could finally start watching all my good movies again after selling my PS3 months ago :(

They are also, for the record, offering steep discounts on a bunch of other gaming stuff. Picked up the G930 headset for $89.99. It was a dollar more than wired, so why not? It's awesome, by the way.

Um, duh. This is why we should stop giving trophies to the losing teams.

Bought a counterfeit copy of Pokemon Platinum on eBay. It looked alright online, but the labelvon the cartridge was kinda crappy. Saving took forever. Ebay got my money back.

Obviously it's a Tardis. Bigger on the inside.

There was a game (Unreal Tournament?) that let you play PS3 vs PC. Or you could play mouse and keyboard on the PS3. I dunno how that played out, but I will say a controller is much better in racing games. Trying to drive with a mouse and keyboard sucks.

I don't think I have ever had a hard drive (in my desktop that doesn't move) last more than two years. I switched to all SSD now, so hopefully that helps.

If by lazy you mean took a lot of time and effort to recompose an old song so that it seemed familiar without being instantly identifiable, then yes, I guess it was.

From the employee standpoint, I will tell you that nice customers absolutely get better deals. A lot of haggling goes on where I work, and if someone is being a dick about it, I will get stubborn and refuse to give them any discount. If you're nice about it, I'll help you out. If you're really nice the whole time and…

My T-Mobile service is great everywhere in Northern Virginia.

Bush was consistent about Iraq. Doesn't make it a good idea. Just sayin'.
